FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the raised bed and the cover?

The raised bed dimensions are 180cm (length) x 90cm (width) x 30cm (height). The greenhouse cover dimensions are approximately 189cm (length) x 96cm (width) x 98cm (height).

What material is the raised bed frame made from?

The raised bed frame is constructed from weatherproof hot-dipped galvanised steel with a thickness of 0.6mm.

How do I assemble the raised bed?

Assembly involves connecting the galvanised steel panels to form the rectangular raised bed. Specific steps are detailed in the product's instruction manual.

Can the greenhouse cover be removed?

Yes, the greenhouse cover can be removed. It is designed to be draped over the frame and secured, allowing for easy access and ventilation when needed.

Is the raised bed suitable for all types of soil?

The raised bed is suitable for use with standard garden soil mixes, compost, and other growing media. It's ideal for areas with poor soil quality or for gardeners who prefer to control their soil composition.

How does the A-frame roof help?

The A-frame roof design ensures that rainwater and snow efficiently slide off, preventing accumulation that could damage the structure and ensuring plants underneath remain dry.

Can this be used on a balcony?

Yes, its design and materials make it suitable for use on patios, decks, and balconies, provided the surface is level and can support the weight of the bed filled with soil and plants.

Troubleshooting

Greenhouse cover does not fit snugly

Ensure the raised bed frame is correctly assembled and square. Adjust the cover's tension using the securing ties or straps.

Zipper on the door is stiff or stuck

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or even a bit of lip balm to help it slide smoothly.

Water pooling on the roof

Verify that the A-frame roof structure is properly assembled and that no debris is obstructing the natural runoff path. Ensure the cover is pulled taut.

Galvanised steel showing signs of rust

For minor spots, gently sand the area and apply a suitable metal paint or sealant. For extensive rust, consider replacing the affected panel.

Cover tearing at stress points

Reinforce these areas with strong, UV-resistant tape designed for outdoor use. Avoid stretching the cover excessively during setup.
